The American Dream is alive and well, and
people across the world are fulfilling their own U.S. immigration goals through
the EB-5 Visa Program. Compared with
other countries, the United States is still a safe place to invest money, raise
a family and start a business. The EB-5
visa and the various paths it offers allows immigrants to live and work
anywhere in the country. There are even
passive investment opportunities for those who don’t wish to work, or would
like to work someplace other than the EB-5 project they invest in.
The
United States’ foundation was built by immigrant communities, and despite
economic hardship across the globe, people still flock to the U.S. for better
opportunities.
How can the EB-5 visa benefit you and your
family? U.S. immigration law is
structured in a way that doesn’t offer many opportunities for permanent
residency (green card) for people without ties to the United States. Unless you have a relative to sponsor you, or
an employer willing to sponsor you, the EB-5 visa may be your only option.
The
EB-5 Visa Program allows foreign nationals the opportunity to make a qualified
investment into a U.S. business in exchange for their green card. There are no English language requirements,
family ties or job offers needed.
Provided the investor invests the requisite funds they likely qualify.
What are your options for EB-5 Investments? Most EB-5 investment opportunities offer
flexible options for potential investors.
Depending on your needs and goals, you can take an active role in the
project or a completely passive role.
The investment amount is $1 Million but may be reduced to $500,000 in
certain designated areas.
Often,
an investor wishes to fund the EB-5 investment and not worry about the
day-to-day operations of the business and immigration requirements. This is absolutely possible and encouraged by
immigration attorneys. As an EB-5
investor, you don’t want to be burdened with EB-5 compliance and immigration
issues – leave those worries up to the EB-5 project management.
Once
invested, you are free to live and work (or not work) anywhere in the United
States.
